UPDATE 2-Revamped women's clothing helps Abercrombie slow sales decline | Reuters

After Abercrombie's logo-focused apparel fell out of fashion, it has tried to woo back its fickle clientele by expanding its merchandise to include larger clothing sizes for women and items such as shoes, and by lowering prices to combat the intense competition. While Abercrombie's sales still fell 2 percent in the first quarter ended May 3, that was less than the 5 percent decline Wall Street was expecting. It was also less than the nearly 12 percent declines in the preceding two quarters - a trend Piper Jaffray analyst Stephanie Wissink expects will continue. Abercrombie also stuck to its full-year earnings forecast, which Wissink said could be conservative given the lift in sales and the fact that merchandise margins were starting to show some points of stability. Abercrombie's move to sell a wider variety of women's clothing helped boost sales in categories such as dresses, denim and outwear in the quarter. Abercrombie also said its knit top business was improving. "The encouraging thing about the women's top business is that it is improving with a planned, marked decrease in logo wear," CEO Mike Jeffries said on a post-earnings call. Jeffries had come under fire for many quarters of declining same-store sales at the once-edgy retailer.
